Massive bummer tbh. Wanderstop feels like the sort of deconstruction of the medium that still hasn’t been properly examined, and their next game looked really promising. Brutal.

For some Friday fun, I decided to celebrate the FPS skybox. Join me. www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/th...

I'm fine right now (despite everything somehow), but I wonder if one day I'll ever learn the lesson that when you sorta recover from burnout you're not supposed to immediately burn yourself out again

re: PS5 price change

Had a great chat with Nick Counter & @mhdante.com of Toronto's @ravinestudios.ca about North Shore, a Canada-set skating exploration game. 🍁 They talked about how the influences of Nick's experiences with Canadian art & nature, fine-tuning the skating mechanics & the unique mix of coziness & horror.

As a Canadian gamer since… oh god I’m old, it was a pleasure to talk to @jonore.bsky.social about the huge industry we’ve built up here and why it doesn’t get the kudos that our other creative industries do. You’ve played Canadian games and not even known it! podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/c...

I look forward to placing a lien on my PS6 so I can buy groceries

Fantastic demo for He Who Watches! A real first-person, gravity-defying sokoban-adjacent brain bender - feels right at home with Draknek's library. @danga.games comin out swinging with this!

The Beauty of Resident Evil Requiem. Full video in high quality: youtu.be/N1vQIkPN7k0 #ResidentEvil

sworcery feels reflective of a certain, truly magical moment where the potential in the gaming space was starting to bloom open in publishing and creative collabs coming together in a way only observed in other mediums. the new film era that was pretty quickly swatted down by industry interests.

*NOCLIP_2 NEWS* the next BIG PREVIEW from noclip_2 is a dive into The Legend of California by Kintsugiyama. Featuring interviews with several team members, deep insight into the game's design and impressions after over 30 hours of game time. coming soon to youtube.com/@noclip2

Perfect day to play Parseword if you want to start getting into it, couldn’t have been an easier one Parseword #56 ⚡️ 14s 💎 Perfect

What's keeping you from playing Judero? Pretty deep discount on it for the next day or two. Very Positive.

Legitimately one of the scariest games I’ve ever played. Even replaying the opening for Noclip_2 rattled me. Vibes are impeccable, sound design is pants-shittingly good - it’s always on my Halloween rotation!

I got to talk about Loading...'s origin story in this video! ☄️ Thanks so much for the feature @jesseguarascia.com & @noclipvideo.bsky.social 💾

Wonder how much longer corporate bootlickers can call mass layoffs “a COVID hiring correction” like yeah man thanks 1000+ people gotta figure out what to do all of a sudden but at least they can sleep well knowing they were hired by mistake

Today is my birthday! It's a good time to get Children of the Sun while it's also 60% off right now! store.steampowered.com/app/1309950/...

Just got a shocking memo from the Video Game Critics Oversight Committee: This week, there will be no controversies about the right or wrong way to talk about games. Instead, everyone has agreed to pen longform diaristic scene-reports from within Marathon.

Just 5 days until the free demo of our point-and-click parody of Les Miserables goes live! It has way less singing than the movie version (+ve?) so wishlist now! store.steampowered.com/app/4380030/... #PointAndClick #AdventureGame #IndieGame #IndieDev

Been listening to a bunch of movie musical soundtracks while working and I have to get this out of my head: every time Jonathan Bailey says "you're perfect" at the end of Dancing Through Life I just hear Ben Starr as Clive Rosfield from FFXVI

Perfect Tides: Station to Station is 20% off during the spring sale! Look how exhausted that one friend who's been screaming at you about it is! Play it and let them rest. store.steampowered.com/app/2088810/...

Digital Urban Dioramas Made with the love for fake interfaces, virtual cities and colored zones. I used NES palette, though obviously not its sprite restrictions #pixelart #lowpoly #fui #ui

You know what you’re never going to miss before launch?

80% off makes this a no-brainer for fans of block pushing. Lots more to it than that too, if you’re the sort of person who likes making their head hurt. More people gotta play Isles of Sea and Sky!!

“People are magic. People have something in them that is so much more interesting than an idea you could have on your own.” We spent an afternoon with Nirvanna the Band's Matt & Jay talking about gaming Queen West for 20 years. MORE funland.itch.io/funland-zine... SUBSCRIBE patreon.com/funlandmag

Yo shoutout @minnmax.com for recommending noclip_2's patreon alongside @intothecast.bsky.social!!

Feel like I’m waking up to the games crit equivalent of a text from the opening shift asking who closed last night

FUN LAND FUN LAND FUN LAND FUN LAND FUN LAND FUN LAND FUN LAND FUN LAND FUN LAND FUN LAND FUN LAND FUN LAND FUN LAND FUN LAND FUN LAND FUN LAND FUN LAND FUN LAND FUN LAND FUN LAND FUN LAND FUN LAND FUN LAND FUN LAND

I work with some pretty cool people!!

I've said it before and I'll say it again Ambrosia Sky is a queer game about regret and death and loss and returning to that small town you're from that mixes imsim-ish problem solving with Power Wash Simulator/Donkey Kong Bananza mechanics for dealing with a fungal infestation. <3

The thing about owning a home is that you'll want to kill the person who lived there before you every single day

"They're pump and dumping Metacritic scores on Kalshi" is the sort of thing Leonardo DiCaprio's character starts saying at the end of Shutter Island

i asked @bottino.games some questions about making the rhythm game/social sim/dress up hybrid, HYPERBEAT 🎵⚔️ had a lot of fun with this one :) >> www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnUj...

World's most consistent city

No judgement on a game I haven't really played, but Crimson Desert's trailers always being really quick cuts of the 1 billion things you can do was 1) probably the right call and 2) probably a bad omen for what the game would be like

If any publishers/scouts want a peek at what we're doing before we start pitching around, DM me. Don't miss out on publishing pure kino

Finally, a Scrolls-like

Announcing DARK SCROLLS from @doinksoft.bsky.social - an auto-scrolling action-platformer for one or two players, locally and online! 💥 Unique runs every time 🏹 Wildly different heroes 🥞 Stackable perk system 🪿 An irritable goose shopkeeper Coming to Nintendo Switch and PC pretty dang soon!

hi! we're the makers of 1000xRESIST, and we have... something special coming up soon 👀 ✨ triple-i showcase on April 9 ✨ 9am PDT / 12pm EDT ✨ no hosts, no ads, just GAMES see you there, sisters 💖

It's not perfect but when it clicks... fuck...

DEAD AS DISCO?!

the experience of developing games alone is often characterized by deprivation. a very quiet discipline. the attention of others, be they peers or critics, is essential but scarce. to be invited to this showcase was a rare privilege & i am still thawing in its glow. what a blessing it is to be seen.

jiminy glick would end the super mario galaxy press tour in two amazing minutes

New Doinksoft announcement tomorrow.
